Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Some statistics about the 16 blue states Russ Vought wants to target:
- 39% of the country lives in those states.
- They contribute 44% of GDP.

One reason I think so many people are being fired merely for quoting what Kirk actually said is that, based on what I've read, many of his followers were in social media silos where they never heard those things. Showing full picture risks Trump admin being able to capitalize on this politically

Worth remembering that a female journalist at WaPo was punished for posting a link to a story about Kobe Bryant, who had just died in a helicopter crash, being credibly accused of sexual assault.
Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Last night DC neighbors showed up at a police checkpoint at 14th & V ST. NW with handwritten signs warning drivers to avoid the block.
After realizing that the community was successfully diverting all traffic, agents packed up the checkpoint and left. #WeKeepUsSafe

Whatch and share this video.
As starvation worsens by the day in Gaza, the Netanyahu government has been using food as a weapon of war — with complicity from Trump and U.S. taxpayer dollars.
This is painful to listen to but here’s what a U.S. Army veteran and Green Beret who witnessed it first-hand recounted to me:

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.
I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
